What should I do about my sissy son

Ask and you shall recieve, and here it goes: Love him. Don't judge whether or not you love him by such a condition. Everyone can be a positive contribution to this world, no matter what their interests. I'm sure that you want the best for him and for him to be happy. Love is the single most important factor. On a side note, I've heard from a study by a fairly reliable source that homosexual men are generally distant or not close to their fathers. Also, they mentioned that people who behaved homosexually during adolescence are not guaranteed to be that way throughout their adult years.

even if he is not gay, he will be stereotyped. he will have a hard time finding a job. he WONT get married. i really hate gay people...

wow - that was close minded

There are gay doctors and nurses, and pharmacists that make great livings -

What you do is not who you are - they have laws that prevent discrimination - for a reason

Wow... you don't suppose that was supposedly Mikey Teutel do you? I like American Chopper and I'd hate to take back my business because their son is a homophobic jerk. Then again, Mikey is quite the comedian...

Here's my advice to the poster.

Talk to your son about why he wants barbies for Christmas next year or this year. It could be that he's interested in anatomy, or he's playing house with them to practice being a good parent. It could be that he's emulating your parenting or fantasizing about what he wants to say to you and he's too afraid to talk to you face to face. It could also be that he wants to get it for a little girl friend, you may find out he's cutting off their heads and doing odd things with them, or it could be that he is intereted in finding dates for his GI Joe's.

My point is, until you talk about it with your son, you won't know what reaction will be the best suited and in the best interests of your Child's emotional IQ and development.

And don't limit your thoughts to the examples I or anyone else has posted here.

Although, I think boot camp is a bit drastic. Why? Because if he's damaging the barbies in a strange way, the physicality of boot camp could just give him ideas, and if he's haviong feelings he can't explain you could convince him he's something he's not by implication.

Good luck and Blessed Be.

I'm sorry, BigDreamer... what exactly was the name of your source?

The reason I ask that, and I in no way attempt to say that this person is you, the last time I read that it was written by someone who, for good or ill, was attempting to define someone else as homosexual, simply because they agreed in whole or in part with the idea that gays may marry. Thereby attempting to cast the other person in a false light.

Along with that they accused falsely and callously the person they were attempting to define of being less than a fully functioning male.

The reason I bring this up is because if the source is the same, it would greatly deminish that sources credibility.
